He said it wasn't grabbing him. I pointed out that it wasn't really geared to grab him specifically. After all, he is a male engineer who reads mostly nonfiction. The chances that he would pick up my books are very slim. Of course, he is married to me so that makes the chances pretty high. :) He still had some good suggestions. :) This exactly the point that I was trying to make to Greg last night when he was commenting on the Press Release for Mercenary.

I have found that to be very true. You can't write for everyone. Your writing really will be much better if you focus on who you're writing to and develop a voice best suited to your specific audience. If you don't, your writing just seems generic. Good tip!
